• A vertical fault accentuates the building on Docteur Gley street, throwing some
natural light in circulation spaces by creating landing of conviviality in every floor.
• Faults are lined in copper, among which the luminosity and the reflection
contrasts with the velvet of the anthracite brick.
• Rooms and day- nursery answers to the climatic plan regulations of the city of
Paris (50 kWh/m²/year).

4. • This area offers the two hostels’ residents the possibility to “live together.”
It allows them to get to know each other as they participate in different
activities.
• The goal of mixing diverse groups together has real meaning here. It brings
the client’s main ambition of bringing different hostels together under one
roof to life.
• Complementing the horizontal break, the vertical rift hollows out the
building (on Rue du Docteur Gley), channelling natural light into the
circulations and the urban space, creating areas for people to come
together and relax on each floor. It also creates a break in the rhythm of
the 30 flat per floor distribution.

15.  The roof is technically reinterpreted for the well-being of the user and
environmental sustainability. Instead of areas for physical activity,
solariums, spaces for hydrotherapy and two vertical axis wind
farms are provided.
 Two wind turbines are installed on the roof, they supply the day-
care during the day and the hostel at night.
 The building is located in an elevated position and is in a wind
corridor, the solar collectors located on the roof cover 30% of the
building's needs for the production of domestic hot water.
 On the opposite side, next to the entrance, vertical technical
compartments solve the plant distribution and support the mountain
drainage columns for the paired toilet and kitchenettes blocks.
